Essentia Battery Storage Framework

The framework has several suppliers on it that can implement computer-controlled battery storage solutions enabling organisations to reduce Triad charges, DUoS charges, Capacity Market Charges, and utilise grid incentives such as Firm Frequency Response.

There are six winning suppliers on this framework:

Bouygues Energies and Services

red T Energy Storage

Centrica Business Solutions

Powerstar

EDF Energy

Veolia

Since 2014, Essentia has helped deliver over £18m of energy savings for 19 NHS trusts, 27 acute hospitals and over 30 community-based sites.

Alexandra Hammond, sustainability director at Essentia, said: “The NHS currently spends more than £540m on energy every year, but could be making significant savings by installing technologies such as LED lighting and smart energy management systems”.

“The major benefit of using an Essentia framework is that all projects come with a savings guarantee and built-in business case.

“We take away the complexity of energy saving procurement and provide a fast route to market and provide advice and guidance throughout the procurement process to ensure clients secure the best partners for their projects.”
